Bryan Johnson shares 'secret' to achieve long life. Do THIS activity to reduce the risk of death by 42%
42% lower risk of death over four years
15% slower biological aging
16% higher physical activity levels
In short, Johnson claimed that staying socially connected didn't just boost mood — it helped bodies function as if they were years younger. So, for the sake of your health (and your mitochondria), say yes to that coffee date or community event… just make sure it's before bedtime.
Johnson shared the post with the caption, 'Say yes to friends, it will extend your life' — which has now garnered thousands of likes and comments.
Here are some of the reactions:
A user wrote: Will you be my friend, Bryan?
Another wrote: The most difficult method of being healthy.
A third user said: I like one friend at a time. Socializing drains me. I like the feeling of peace.
A fourth user said: Stay single so the wife doesn't socially isolate you and shorten your lifespan.
The multimillionaire recently announced plans to shut down his highly publicised anti-aging regimen, Project Blueprint. Johnson has reportedly cited philosophical conflicts and burnout as the reason for closing his anti-aging wellness startup.
'Honestly, I am so close to either shutting it down or selling it,' Bryan Johnson told Wired. 'I don't need the money, and it's a pain-in-the-a** company.'
Earlier this year, reports suggested that Blueprint was falling short of its break-even point by $1 million each month. However, Johnson dismissed claims of financial strain, stating, 'We are break-even, and I've said that publicly many times. We've had profitable months, we've had loss months,' he added.

YouTube turns to AI to spot children posing as adults
YouTube has started using artificial intelligence (AI) to figure out when users are children pretending to be adults on the popular video-sharing platform amid pressure to protect minors from sensitive content. The new safeguard is being rolled out in the United States as Google-owned YouTube and social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok are under scrutiny to shield children from content geared for grown-ups. A version of AI referred to as machine learning will be used to estimate the age of users based on a variety of factors, including the kinds of videos watched and account longevity, according to YouTube Youth director of product management James Beser. "This technology will allow us to infer a user's age and then use that signal, regardless of the birthday in the account, to deliver our age-appropriate product experiences and protections," Beser said. "We've used this approach in other markets for some time, where it is working well." The age-estimation model enhances technology already in place to deduce user age, according to YouTube. Users will be notified if YouTube believes them to be minors, giving them the option to verify their age with a credit card, selfie, or government ID, according to the tech firm. Social media platforms are regularly accused of failing to protect the well-being of children. Australia will soon use its landmark social media laws to ban children under 16 from YouTube, a top minister said late last month, stressing a need to shield them from "predatory algorithms." Communications Minister Anika Wells said four-in-ten Australian children had reported viewing harmful content on YouTube, one of the most visited websites in the world. Australia announced last year it was drafting laws that will ban children from social media sites such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram until they turn 16. "Our position remains clear: YouTube is a video sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens," the company said in a statement at the time. On paper, the ban is one of the strictest in the world. It is due to come into effect on December 10. The legislation has been closely monitored by other countries, with many weighing whether to implement similar bans.
